Happy B'day Tele-pizzahey mom good morning. how are things going? Things this week went really well. We had a conference in La Serena on Saturday that went really well. The focus of the conference was on being prepared to teach with the Spirit. Elder Millar and I also taught a workshop on asking questions. It was pretty cool because we had members there from the La Serena stake that were the "investigators" for the practices.
On Sunday, our investiagtor, Eduardo, had his baptismal interview with President Gillespie. He is now ready to be baptized this Saturday at 7:00 in the evening! He is so excited. He has been inviting everyone in the ward to his baptism. We met up with him in the Plaza de Ovalle to walk to the church together and he said that he had gotten there an hour early and was just talking with people in the plaza. When we were walking he said that he had invited a few people that he talked to to go to his baptism. Haha. He can´t wait!
There is something special happening in the zone of Ovalle right now. For the past few months, we have been a little low in baptisms for the zone with only between 2 and 5, and it was looking like we were going to be getting only 4 this month. Somehow, things worked out in the branches and it looks like we will be getting between 7 and 10 baptisms this coming weekend. We only have one for the month as of right now, but 6 have passed their interviews and a couple with their son just got married this past weekend. They could have their interviews tomorrow and get baptized this weekend! That would be so cool! The zone hasnt gotten 10 baptisms in one month for well over a year.
Well it is hard to believe that this is now the last week of the change. They just keep going faster and faster. The weather has been really nice this past week. A couple of days were just pure heat but the weekend was really nice and only in the low 80's.
Thank you to all that wrote me this week wishing me Happy Birthday. All we really did that day was work like any other day. We ordered pizza on Tuesday night and ate good but other than that it was pretty normal. Well everyone have a great week. take care
Chao,
Elder Nelson
